I've had a bit of a love/hate relationship with this one.
I enjoyed making the beats and think that part came out pretty good but everything after that felt rather haphazard and didn't feel right to me.
I was close to abandoning the track…
With my deepest apologies to Chopin...
This is a very simple experiment in re-synthesis using the MetaSynth 5.3 ImageSynth.
I took Chopin's Nocturn No. 1 in B-Flat Minor and converted it into a spectrogram which was then used to re-synthesize…
This is the first piece made with a Reaktor instrument I built today that I have called "Xylo".
Xylo is a sampler that plays a region of the sample back and forth with a 10s release time. Each note defines a region of a different length (but…
Once again the source material is a snippet of beautiful piano from [Sudara](http://alonetone.com/sudara) only this time I fed it to a new Reaktor instrument that I am working on call Tukuramu.
Okay so tukuramu does not mean earth-quake but…
Made with the Boité Diabolique playing some piano and cello samples. I did a bit of hand editing in Live and then added some light compression, reverb, and limiting.

I was working on a piano phrase played by Alonetone supremo [Sudara](http://alonetone.com/sudara) (about which, more later).
One of the approaches I took was to load the phrase into the Time Freezer instrument and play it. I kind of got lost…

A micro-tonal piece made using one instance of the Novaphone 340 ("Imperial") playing 3 piano samples from SoundIron's "Emotional Piano 2.0".
The samples were sequenced using a MIDI keyboard using the Novaphone Micro-8 scale (1/8 semitone per…
First demo of the finished Novaphone 340 Grand instrument (v1.0.4) including some of the sample content that will be released with the final instrument. In this case I used 5 samples of a Reaktor based drone generator by [nofi](http://soundcloud…
I needed 2m02 to finish the album. I was completely spent and without a drop of creative juice left. Just noodling with an Omnisphere patch when one of my cats, Mississippi, jumped on my keyboard and proceeded to walk up and down and sit on various…
I'm trying to experiment with intentionally combining two different sounds. Since I seem to find this difficult I am starting with using a drone as one of the sounds taking my inspiration from the opening tracks of the Brian Eno & Jah Wobble…

This is a collab tune which was originally written by Tad Rees (aka Solo). He plays the Keyboard.synth, and I did the guitar and drums. The last half blends with his original which can be heard in completion at :

A test track of sorts.
I typically mix a track, bounce it out to my ipod and then go for a drive. The stereo in my truck is kind of boomy and if I get the bass wrong, I'll hear about it. This has been a matter of a certain amount of guesswork…
My first attempt at a Blumlein or Mid/Side recording. This one is actually a mid/side recording as I used a directional mic in combo with a figure 8 ribbon mic set at 90 degrees from the main mic. Thanks to Pat Broaders for the loan of the ribbon…
This is the first outing of a new granular re-synthesis based Reaktor ensemble I am working on codenamed "BD".
The track is generated by 4 instances of the ensemble (playing different samples), panned by CamelSpace, with lashings of Valhalla…
Hey Igor. Yeah there's something a little disturbing about those shrill shrieks towards the end, kind of like some flying be-tentacled monsters happily chasing their prey ;-)

Some guy called me back in college when I had a particularly odd outgoing message on my answering machine. He left me a message in return and I kept it all these years, finally putting it to some use.
Comments on Mr Sandbags's stuff
enjoyed these - great stuff!!
Strangely beautiful!
Beautiful sounds!
Yes, this is STRANGELY enchanting. I don't usually go for this sort of stuff but I have really enjoyed this!
Dig the cellic flavourings.
Remote echo of the stones, rolling; tide, from under the water...
Super cool. I love the dark tension.
Ambient G-E-N-I-U-S. Cool ending bits.
Desert winds...
Strangely enchanting!
There's gold in them thar waves.
Very cool and fruitful sonic mining. Inspiring.
I could get lost in it too. Nice!
Funny.... I have a feeling this would be the soundtrack of the world if time was frozen......greatly enjoyed.
Nice! Mysterious sounds
Wow! Very cool sounds there!
Ha! This is sweet!
very nice - alien sounds - it should be the world anthem for the spacer world Aurora in Asimov's I Robot series.
Listened to this twice in a row, it has a really nice mood.
nice one!

You're asking us? ;-) I like it, defies expectations but still musical.
Nice... nuther dose of Max/MSP goodness?
Great track.
Fabulous track that stands the test of time: great sounds, great feel.
Super vocals from m'partner. Yes I am sitting here in my silver jumpsuit.. what of it??
Lovely ambient.
The production went over my head but it sounds beautiful.

You're very wise Joe. I can recommend someone! :)
Great stuff again CG!
Fab. Could have listened to that for hours.
Fantastic. Really floated away on this piece.
Yeah, like this a lot. Your recent tracks have been great, really full of energy and fun!
Oh yes!
Wow this is chock full of funk goodness. Love the end.
Lovely laid back feel. Like it ;-)
Sister's nailed it!
Well that was a delightful slice of weirdness :)
Hypnotic with a disturbing edginess.
Cool. I actually rather like that the voice is indistinct. But I'm strange that way ;-)
